Here’s one I want you to remember . SBE has gotten me into the habit of lying down with him pretty much every night. It started out with me reading a chapter of Harry Potter to him, and now it’s that and lying down with him and sometimes playing Candy Crush (but don’t […]

Today was supposed to be a great day for all of us. Today, the 3 of you were supposed to get your COVID vaccines. Unfortunately, a student tested positive in SBR’s class, so a bunch of kids had to quarantine for 10 days. SBR was one of them. This not only changed our […]

Today was a special day. Last week, I got an email from Coach V inviting SBE to test for his next belt (which would be the first belt he tests for), his white belt with a black stripe through it. SBE started with after-school classes last year, then he and SBK went to […]

Today marks a week that we’ve been in Fairbanks. Ima and I really starting to fall in love with it here. I”m not sure you feel the same way…yet, but hopefully you will. It’s so beautiful and peaceful here. I could really see myself buying some land and building a little house on […]

Once again, I woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, but this time I was prepared. I had my phone ready, and I was more aware. So, I snapped a few pics to share with B___, and when I woke up, sure enough, they were indeed on […]

Today was Day 5 in Fairbanks. I got up around 2 in the morning to go to the bathroom, and I thought it would be a good idea to take a picture so we could remember what 2 a.m. looked like. Also, I wanted to show your aunt (my B___). Even though I […]

We’re already on Day 4. I think we’ve pretty much acclimated to the local time if not the constant sun…and definitely not the constant mosquitoes! Like yesterday, I was up early and working by 5. I could really get used to this…getting up when everyone is still asleep and having a nice peaceful […]

As I mentioned, we chose to housesit so we could live among the natives and see what it was like to be a Fairbanksan. Well, today we did just that. I got up and went to work like every other day. Well…not exactly. I was up at 4:30 in the morning local time, […]

Today was our first full day in Fairbanks. Today we got up and went to The Bakery Restaurant. It was pretty awful, especially compared to the The Cookie Jar from yesterday. The service just awful…at some point our server just disappeared and some other dude came and said he was now or server…very […]

Finally! I have something exciting to write about…an adventure you will hopefully have memories of for years to come. We headed north the Last Frontier for about 3 weeks. I have a business trip to Kodiak at the end of the July, and Ima found someone in Fairbanks who was looking for someone […]

We took Scamp to a vet clinic in Old Town today; he needed his last two shots. It was a bittersweet trip. Since we’re heading to Fairbanks Friday, we figured now was the time to hand him off to the next foster family. And that’s what we did…but not without some drama. SBK […]
